Move from Dat Protocol to Hyperdrive Protocol

[bltavares]

Dat Protocol is moving into a new version, that is not backward-compatible.

To help to communicate this breaking change Dat announced it is moving to Hypercore Protocol.

Dat (also known as dat1 on this repo) will keep existing as is, but the same team that maintained the protocol (also known as dat2 on this repo) is now focused on adding features only on the new protocol.

Also, the new Beaker only works on the new protocol, and will migrate the library on previous Dat to Hypercore.

Apps that were targeting Dat will not work with the new protocol, as discovery also changed.

This is tracking issue to move colmeia to the Hypercore Protocol:

• Discovery: mdns hyperswarm discovery Discovery: mdns hyperswarm discovery #11
  • Fix multi-interface discovery Discovery: MDNS does not find devices across multiple interfaces #15
• Handshake & Exchange with hypercore protocol over network Provide hypercore-nc binary #18
• Update hypercore version used on the code to the beta releases WIP - Hypercore Clone & Sync - With spawn/channels #21
• Change https://github.com/bltavares/parse-dat-url to parse-hyper-url WIP - Hypercore Clone & Sync - With spawn/channels #21
  • Removed as hypercore does not have dns resolution anymore hyper://dns (mapping DNS to Hyperdrives) beakerbrowser/beaker#1576
• Move dat bins to hypercore protocol WIP - Hypercore Clone & Sync - With spawn/channels #21
  • All dat bins moved into legacy for historical purpose
  • All previous bins available as hypercore
• Move dat1 from the repo to avoid dependencies breaking the latest code
